Thanks, Jim. I see you shaved with my favorite Gillette today.

 

Thanks, Paul, will do my best.

 

Happy Birthday, Jim.

 

I've used my Criterion Deluxe in the past. But this shave seemed better. A little bit more top heavy, maybe that's why.

Lather Catcher Sunday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
Mitchell's Wool Fat Shaving Soap
Jayaruh #30 Silvertip Badger
Superior Lather Catcher
Personna GEM SS PTFE
CWR
Aqua Velva Musk AS

The Mitchell's Wool Fat Shaving Soap lathered well with the Jayaruh #30 Silvertip Badger brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Superior Lather Catcher and the Personna GEM SS PTFE Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Aqua Velva Musk AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

 

Happy belated birthday my friend!

Sunday morning:

Hot shower
Two hot towels
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Super Speed/Wilkinson Sword day 5
MSC Deep Blue SS
CutiBase Moisturizer
Max Disinfecting AS Splash

The Deep Blue soap from Master Soap Creations in Johannesburg, South Africa is MAGNIFICENT. Fernando is a genius when it comes to making soaps and aftershaves - there are no two ways about it because he really is brilliant. This soap’s scent is lovely - it’s an exact copy of Diesel Deep Blue, the lather is so thick, rich, SLICK, and protective thanks to the tallow formula, and it’s so soothing. The CutiBase moisturizer is unscented and it works great as a balm, while the Max Disinfecting aftershave from Bulgaria stings like hell for a second or two but then it feels wonderful - not to mention how nice it smells. My cherished 1950s Super Speed worked its magic again this morning and gave me a terrific three pass BBS shave that I enjoyed so much!

Wishing y’all a great Sunday!

Figaro Sapone Speciale (P-160)~~Simpson The "Duke"~~British Gillette #44/Astra SP~~Czech & Speake Cuba
This soap is the original P-160. Not to be confused with a subsequent RazoRock offering.
Tallow goodness that lathers amazingly. Super-slick with plenty of protection.

New Astra SP in the French-Market, British-Made Gillette #44 RFB. Wow. Could this be a desert-Island razor
I have narrowed it down to a three-piece, rather than a TTO, but that's as far as I have gotten.
Finished today's shave with a masculine splash of C&S Cuba.
Mos Def© NOT unisex. Manly.

Have a great day!​
